Access denied for location?

Hi,

For some reason, when I create a new window using "myWin =
window.open(url )", and then try to get the location of the window using
"alert(myWin.lo cation)", it tells that access is denied. How can it be
denied...it's a window I created...there fore, shouldn't I have access to
it's location property?

Thanks,
Aaron

The domain in the newly opened window is different from that of the
original window.

If the document in the window is not in the same domain then you can't
access it.
This is a security/privacy issue.

I understand what you're saying about security...but I'm reading O'Reilly's
javascript: The Definitive Guide to learn this (which is supposedly a good
book), and there's a specific example where the location of another window
(another frame in the same set) is obtained and written into the a text box
of the current document. Why would this even be written if it's not
possible?
Also, I get the access denied message when I try to use a self-created "back
button" in one frame to control another frames location via it's history
object. This is in the book too, and it should work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron

You believe *everything* you read?

The book is wrong.

whoops - I should have posted this to CSharp not ASPNET: Hi, I am using a 3rd party product to create dynamic web service proxies (downloaded from www.thinktecture.com). My problem is that it doesn't work if Anonymous Access is turned off. I know, from searching, that this is to do with Credentials but I just can't seem to find where to fix it.

I am trying to move an application from my system to a new test system. I really should have tried an easier program first, but I didn't really have a chance. My application was originally written in ASP.NET 1.1, but was migrated to 2.0 during development. The reason this is an issue is because the application is using the Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll for the tree view and tab strip controls that didn't exist prior to 2.0. Well, that is...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
